Which would be Trae & Luka. Um, draft press conference BS means nothing. What's he going to say? "Wanted Jaren Jackson but Ressler nixed it." I don't know for sure of course but a couple respected writers reported Trae was not Schlenks first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's BS when it fits your narrative about some drama going on? Trae Young was rumored to Hawks in January. Plenty of respected writers said Travis wanted Trae because of the Curry similarities. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he liked Trae, that's the player we took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point Forward. You misspelled Turkeyglu.

The cute thing will be seeing what he does against 4's like, oh I dunno, Lebron, Durant, George (at times), Ant. Davis .... eh, I'm sure he'll be aiight. I mean, he was beast-mode against them chain-smokin' Euros the past few seasons. I swear I saw a dude smokin' a loosie in-game in one of his highlights.

Premium Member Popular Post Sothron Posted September 24, 2018 Premium Member Popular Post Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 If we had the number one pick Schlenk would have taken Trae. I have that on good authority. That's how badly he wanted him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Popular Post AHF Posted September 24, 2018 Moderators Popular Post Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I'm not on the Doncic haterade just because we didn't draft the guy. I still think he'll be good. Waiting to see what he does against legit NBA competition just like with all the other rookies. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying Schlenk is wrong, but I think he is probably the only GM in the NBA that would have taken Trae #1. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka has literally never been projected as playing point guard. Wing / forward are the only projections I've ever seen. Obviously, his playmaking abilities have been touted but Larry did a lot of that for Boston as well and was never considered for point guard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecampster Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 What follows is the list of the top 15 PF's last year in the West. Just so Luka D will know what he'll have to guard night in night out. I'm super looking forward to that Anthony Davis, Luka Doncic matchup....and they think Trae is undersized. Oh ya...I'm thinking you can take Randle and Kuzma off that list because James will be playing substantial minutes at the 4 in LA. 1 Anthony Davis, PF NO 75 36.4 28.1 10.4-19.5 .534 0.7-2.2 .340 6.6-8.0 .828 2 LaMarcus Aldridge, PF SA 75 33.5 23.1 9.2-18.0 .510 0.4-1.2 .293 4.5-5.3 .837 3 Carmelo Anthony, PF OKC 78 32.1 16.2 6.1-15.0 .404 2.2-6.1 .357 1.9-2.5 .767 4 Julius Randle, PF LAL 82 26.7 16.1 6.1-11.0 .558 0.1-0.5 .222 3.7-5.2 .718 Kyle Kuzma, PF LAL 77 31.2 16.1 6.1-13.5 .450 2.1-5.6 .366 1.9-2.7 .707 6 Zach Randolph, PF SAC 59 25.6 14.5 6.1-12.9 .473 0.9-2.5 .347 1.4-1.8 .785 7 Derrick Favors, PF UTAH 77 28.0 12.3 5.1-9.1 .563 0.2-0.8 .222 1.8-2.8 .651 8 Taj Gibson, PF MIN 82 33.3 12.2 5.2-9.0 .577 0.1-0.4 .200 1.7-2.3 .768 9 Draymond Green, PF GS 70 32.7 11.0 4.0-8.8 .454 1.1-3.7 .301 1.9-2.5 .775 Montrezl Harrell, PF LAC 76 17.0 11.0 4.6-7.2 .635 0.0-0.1 .143 1.8-2.9 .626 RK PLAYER TEAM GP MPG PTS FGM-FGA FG% 3PM-3PA 3P% FTM-FTA FT% 11 Trey Lyles, PF DEN 73 19.1 9.9 3.7-7.5 .491 1.1-3.0 .381 1.4-2.0 .706 12 Ryan Anderson, PF HOU 66 26.1 9.3 3.1-7.3 .431 2.0-5.1 .386 1.1-1.4 .774 Al-Farouq Aminu, PF POR 69 30.0 9.3 3.3-8.4 .395 1.8-4.9 .369 0.9-1.2 .738 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melo maybe coming off the bench in Hou, Melo will Melo Zac is old and playing in Sac and doesn't play much defense. Randle will be backing up AD in NOP. The fact you list Ryan Anderson, he just might be slower a foot than Doncic and now playing in Phoenix who play no defense. Lyles won't see much playing time with Millsap back as the starter. The rest....meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
